Teacher Talk provides core strategies from the ‘Learning Language and Loving It Programme for Early Childhood Educators’ to help you create rich and stimulating language-learning environments for the young children you work with.

Delivered by Hanen (http://www.hanen.org/Home.aspx) trained professionals who also offer the Learning Language and Loving It programme, Teacher Talk is divided into three full-day training sessions.

There are 3 sessions between Thursday 28 February 2019 and Thursday 28 March 2019

A practical course. Participants will be introduced to a range of songs, dances, musical instruments and activities which both encourage well-being and support all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Good early language skills are central to children’s early years development and school readiness. They play a crucial role in literacy, a child’s ability to achieve their educational potential, their social mobility, and their life chances.

This course aims to provide practitioners with a range of practical approaches to develop their skills, knowledge, confidence and attitudes to promote language development for every child and to close the ‘word gap’ for children as they start school.
